Everything will be proliferated in time, be patient. I waited over 3 years to roll an Arch/TA corr

Rather it follow a portfolio system similar to the powers of the gods in dungeons and dragons. Things like Body, Mind, Spirit, Life, Death, Speed, etc. Using this would provide the devs the ability to put out a multitude of powers and just slide them into their respective folder. Now guidelines as to what would be allowed to choose and or mix/max would have to be decided in test.

Quite simply, I'd be happy if it let you choose any two powers from your ATs power list. Example on my Elec/WP Brute take maybe "Against all Odds" and "FootStomp". Or my Fire/Rad Controller and take "Falcrum Shift" and "Siphon Speed". The choices are endless even then and would be easy or the devs to add. Although I would really like new powers.

+Resist bonuses are generally ignored by most because of the fact it has very little effect on toons overall. This is because of the huge difference between defense and resist damage mitigation.

A person with a base of 47% resist to lethal when hit with an attack that deals 100 points only receives 53 points of damage. That +3% resist bonus would only help drop that attack to 50 points of damage. However in the case of defense, if a player has 42% def to lethal and puts on a +3% def bringing it up to 45% def to lethal. That player now only has a 5% chance to even get hit with lethal attacks.

Even if +resist effects were buffed and given out on a larger degree, most people would still favour +Def bonuses. I'd consider it on my invun toons, not so much on my others.

Pre-perma, use as needed (before both fights, before large spawns, etc). By level 30, you shouldn't have a huge end problem on any rad emission character. At 50, get yourself perma'd for AM/Haste, I cannot stress this enough. It's well worth the trouble of cost and time in the end. My source of experience is 3 Rad Emissions toons at 50, Fire/Rad troll, Rad/Ice fender, and an AR/Rad corr.

Just to clear up the confusion on the thread.
Haste 70% recharge (-end when wears off, not -recovery)
AM 30% Recharge +end recovery (no ill effects when wears off)

What would the numbers be after DR hits all those buffs?

To be fair, a majority of villain players prefer to solo most of the content.

Edit: Just read the thread better, so all i got to say is w000000t. Can i has on my 2nd account too?

I'm trying to run a dual monitor on my laptop. I've got an HDMI cord plugged into both my laptop and LCD monitor. I followed the setup and the LCD is still blank, no idea what I missed.
My laptop is an ASUS G50VT-X1 and the monitor is an Emerson 19" LCD HDTV. What am I missing?

Why would these get you kicked from a team? These builds are not as uncommon as you think they are btw.

Uncommon doesn't = subpar build btw. Uncommon is really based on what you see as you can't know every character combo on your server. I've seen everything on your list btw and I play on Infinity. Just so you know Storm/Elec was a FoTM many years ago.

I don't play on freedom, but I've never seen people kicked off a team based on builds. I've seen people getting kicked heavily based on attitude though. During normal PUG paper/radio missions though? Never seen people kicked based on builds.

As far as MIDS goes, its an option.

Does it help? I personal find it very helpful.

Helps you plan IOs and new builds, but as I stated it's an option. No where is it stated you *MUST* use this program to play the game. It's your choice. I'm a min/maxer and love the IO system because it lets me push my toons beyond design. Nothing wrong with not using IOs as its always been an option.

You need to stop separating yourself from the general population. I know several players who do not use MIDS and still use SO's. You pay your fees, play how you want. You seem to be placing yourself into a "selected" box while excluding and insulting everyone else.

Gonna list my 50s so I can make a point.

Brutes: Elec/WP, SS/Fire, SS/WP, Dark/Fire, Dark/Stone, Stone/Energy, EM/SR, Fire/Shield

Stalkers: Elec/Nin, MA/Nin

MM: Necro/Traps, Necro/Storm, Thug/FF, Thug/Poison, Merc/Pain

Doms: Fire/Psi, Mind/Energy, Plant/Fire

Corrs: AR/Rad, Sonic/Traps, Rad/Pain, Dark/Kin, Arch/TA

SoA: Huntsman, Bane, Fortunata

Tanks: Dark/SS

Blasters: Fire/Mental

Defenders: Rad/Ice, Dark/Elec

Controllers: Fire/Rad, Earth/Thermal, Ill/TA, Plant/Storm

Scrapper: DM/Invun

Are they common? I don't care, I have fun playing them which is all that matters in the end.

Moving SGs not possible, I would have moved my SG I had on Protector to Infinity years ago. Before the 36 cap per server was around, Infinity was my hero and Protector was my villain server. Infinity has dwindled a bit, but not more then usual pre-issue release.

And because this topic gets mentioned over and over.

Will my card run UM?

Nvidia/Geforce 9800m GS 512mb

Perfect team? Teaming with players who know their toons, don't matter what kinda of mix.

Most of my level 50's have builds that start at roughly 3bil each. Don't really consider a billion very much either. I don't really think about it, I just get a 50 and then grind out the cash for the build till its done. Then move on to the next 50 on the list.

I considered Merc/Storm bout half way through bringing up my merc/pain. It's another build that works great together, Hurricane keeps all your pets safe from melee quite well.

Merc/Pain at 50 here, I like em, meshed well with pain IMO. May roll another merc at a later date depending on what secondaries are down the line for MMs.

Silas, your personal opinion is valid however I'm sure you're aware that people do purchase this IO for a gross amount of Infamy. I simply placed it on market for the value the playerbase has placed its worth.

Is it worth 2bil to you? Clearly no, I'm not asking you to buy this IO. I simply know how rare it is and decided it might move faster if I posted on the forums of its existance.

Would I pay 2bil for it? Maybe, if pvp was balanced and worth my time anymore. It's a moot point really, you won't buy it, someone will eventually. Doesn't hurt my market slots and the 100mil it costed for me to post is pocket change really

Trying to decide what to IO next, my choices are

1) Dark/Kin Corr
2) Dark/Stone Brute
3) Plant/Fire Dom
4) Fort
5) Bane

I will eventually get to them all, just need help deciding which one to do atm.

Not really, the heal aspect is crap but it works similar to the shifter +end procs. Only gives 7.5 in return though, not really needed on a willpower toon with two shifter procs. My other toons are just not active enough to warrant slotting this IO into them. Better sold and infamy used to IO one maybe two toons. I've got 5 level 50 villains I still need to IO, so worth it to sell off.

Just throwing it out here, just redid my brute and decided I no longer need this enhancement. Tossed on the market for 2bil Let the race begin

as a note, I bought this IO back when it first came out for 65mil as a recipe

EM/SR is a fun mix, granted I played EM only after the changes so I have nothing to compare. The animation times on two of the attacks hurt resist sets quite a bit IMO. However this isn't the case with /SR once softcapped.

If you never played EM before you won't notice the "slow" attacks. I use mine for speed TFs and he can spike all the crystals on the ITF with little problems. He does have aid self because softcapped can't protect from everything.
